15
PRIMERGY BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide
2.2 Installing and Removing
For details about installing/removing Management Blades, refer to "BX600 S3 Blade
Server System Unit Hardware Guide".
For the Management Blades to monitor the chassis constantly, blade system management starts
approx. 1 minute after the power cable of the chassis has been plugged in.
Always use the same Management Blade firmware version in both Management Blades (excluding
firmware being updated).

16
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Management Blades
2.3 Default Settings
Before using the Management Blade, some default settings must be performed.
2.3.1 Management Software
Management Blade supports management tools such as Web UI (web user interface) and CLI (command
line interface). Using these management tools, the chassis of the blade server and various blades can be
easily managed from the management terminal.
• The Web UI operates/manages using the Web browser via the LAN.
• CLI operates/manages using a command line base on the console menu that uses serial ports or Telnet
protocol via LAN.
2.3.2 Communication Interface Settings
Perform the necessary settings from among the following depending on the management tools and
method of communication to be used.
• When using Web UI or CLI via Telnet
"■LAN Interface Settings" (p.16)
• When using CLI via a serial interface
"■Serial Interface Settings" (p.18)
Access the various management tools using the user name "root", password "root" as set in the default
user settings during default settings. Password is case sensitive.
■LAN Interface Settings
The procedures for settings LAN interface are as follows.
The LAN interfaces of Management Blade can be set to 10Mbps full duplex/ 10Mbps half duplex/
100Mbps full duplex/ 100Mbps half duplex/ auto-negotiation. Set the same setting to the connecting
hub. If they are connected in different settings, the level of communication efficiency may severely
decrease or communication may fail.

17
PRIMERGY BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide
1Connect the management terminal and Management Blade using a LAN cable
according to the network to be used.
1. Connect the LAN cable to the Management Blade.
Attach the connector of the LAN cable to the
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port of the
Management Blade.
2. Connect the LAN cable to a hub or router.
Connect the other end of the LAN cable to a hub or router connected to the management
terminal.
2Activate the Web browser in the management terminal.
For more details about supported Web browsers, refer to "4.1 Accessing Web Interface" (p.26).
3Access the Web UI of the Management Blade from the Web browser.
Access the Web UI using default value (IP address:192.168.1.1/ subnet mask: 255. 255.255.0) if it
is the initial setting.
For the access procedures, refer to "4.1 Accessing Web Interface" (p.26).
The LAN ports of the Management Blade can be set to 10Mbps full duplex/ 10Mbps
half duplex/ 100Mbps full duplex/ 100Mbps half duplex/ auto-negotiation. If connected
to a port within the same network that has a different speed, the performance of the
LAN transfer function will deteriorate. For example, the speed of all the ports is
matched to that of the slowest port when using the IGMP function with no hub to
perform broadcast or multicast communication.
When using a Management Blade with a redundant configuration, connect the LAN
cable to both the master and slave Management Blades using a hub etc. If a fatal error
occurs in the master Management Blade, because the communication path is
automatically changed by a Management Blade that changed from slave to master,
management/operation via a LAN interface can be continued without changing the
connection (the communication path change takes about 30 seconds). However, if LAN
communications are stopped due to NIC failure or LAN cable disconnection in the
Management Blade, the Management Blade changeover to master will not occur and
management /operation via LAN interface will cease. Even in this case, when
managing/operating via LAN interface is required, refer to "●9. NIC Status Detection
(1_3_9)" (p.94) and enable the status monitoring function of the LAN interface. By
forcibly changing the master, management/operation can continue.

18
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Management Blades
4Perform LAN interface settings by clicking on [System Property] – [LAN
Interface] in the setting parameter menu of the displayed Management Blade
initial screen in this order.
For details about setting methods, refer to "●LAN Interface" (p.29).
■Serial Interface Settings
1Connect the management terminal to the Management Blade using the
attached RS-232C cross cable.
1. Connect an RS-232C cross cable to the Management Blade.
Connect the RS-232C cross cable connector to
the serial port on the Management Blade

2. Connect an RS-232C cross cable to the management terminal.
Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the management terminal.
2Start the terminal software in the management terminal and perform settings to
enable Management Blade connection.
For details about setting methods, refer to "5.1.1 Using Serial Interface" (p.64).
Connect the management terminal to the Management Blade operating in master
mode. It is not possible to connect to CLI from the serial port of the Management Blade
operating in slave mode. Check the operation mode of the Management Blade in the
Management Blade master display LED ("1.2 Component Names and Functions"
(p.11)).

2.3.4 Blade Server Time Management
It is necessary to perform/check Management Blade time and time zone settings during initial setting.
Perform checks/settings in Web UI ("●System Information" (p.45)) or CLI ("■Management Agent
Information (1_1)" (p.71)).
Note the following when checking/setting.
■Server Blade and Management Blade time synchronization
The time of the Server Blade installed in the chassis can be synchronized with the time of the
Management Blade by enabling "Sync RTC with Mgmt. Blade" using the BIOS setup (Default value is
[Enabled]).
Using this function, the time of multiple Server Blades and Management Blades installed in the chassis
can be synchronized.
→"BX620 S4 Server Blade User's Guide Chapter 8 Hardware Configuration/Utilities"
■Management Blade time synchronization via the network
Management Blade supports NTP as a time synchronization system via the network. Set in Web UI ("•
NTP" (p.40)) or CLI ("●17. Agent NTP (1_1_17)" (p.78)). When using this function, complete
settings or checking before starting blade server operations or when suspended.
Disable "Sync RTC with Mgmt. Blade" if you do not wish to perform time synchronization for Server
Blade and Management Blade for reasons such as a precise system time being demanded of the
Server Blade. In this case incorporate a time synchronization system (NTP etc.) via the network in
the Server Blade system design.
Do not change NTP settings during blade server operation. Doing so may cause a system failure by
the time synchronization of the Management and Server Blades in the OS etc.
